Mayor Hancock Launches Denveright

May 19, 2016

Four coordinated plans will shape the future of Denver’s land use, mobility, parks and recreational resources

DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock today will launch Denveright, a multi-agency planning initiative unlike any the city has ever embarked on. Encompassing four distinct citywide plans and guided by input from the community, Denveright will establish a vision for Denver for the next 20 years.

Denveright will shape Denver’s future in the areas of land use, mobility, parks and recreational resources by coordinating, for the first time, the planning processes for:

an update of Blueprint Denver, the 2002 citywide land-use and transportation plan

an update of TheGame Plan, the 2003 citywide parks and recreation master plan

Denver Moves: Transit, a new mobility plan for transit in Denver

Denver Moves: Pedestrians and Trails, a new mobility plan for sidewalks, crossings and trails

“Great cities don’t happen by accident. Many great planning efforts, undertaken with our diverse communities, have helped us create the Denver we’re all proud to call home,” Mayor Hancock said. “There is so much about life in Denver that we all love and value, and Denveright is an historic opportunity for everyone in our city to have a voice on the needs and priorities that will shape Denver’s future.”

Get involvedDenveright will be a community-driven process from start to finish. Our community will be able to share ideas online via a series of surveys at denvergov.org/denveright, and via other online methods, or can participate in community workshops and public meetings. Additionally, anyone interested in playing a more active role in planning can apply to join the “Community Think Tank” to help guide the planning process. All are invited to join the conversation via the hashtag #denveright on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The landscapeStrategies from Denver’s existing plans have served the city well: guiding transportation choices; promoting mixed-use development; creating and enhancing parks, trails and recreation centers; and catalyzing areas of change while preserving the character of stable neighborhoods.

Yet a lot has changed in 15 years. FasTracks has added significant new transit options to the region. The city’s population has grown rapidly. And environmental issues such as climate change have heightened the urgency for policy that’s even more focused on sustainability and resilience.

The plans
Bringing these four plans under one umbrella will not only maximize resources and make the planning process more efficient, but also ensure that the core areas — land use, mobility, parks and recreational resources — work holistically, according to the community’s priorities and guidance.

The mayor will officially launch Denveright, followed by “City Visionaries: Shaping the Future of Denver’s Land Use, Mobility, Parks and Recreation” today at 3 p.m. at the DCPA's Seawell Ballroom, 1101 13th St., Denver.
